  • Publication number: 20250319466
    Abstract: Fluid analyzation devices, methods, and systems are disclosed including an analyzation device comprising a sample vessel having an outer surface, a microchannel within the confines of the outer surface, a first port extending through the outer surface to the microchannel, and a second port extending through the outer surface to the microchannel; and an piezo transducer bonded to the outer surface of the sample vessel to form a monolithic structure, the piezo transducer configured to emit ultrasonic acoustic waves having a first frequency, a second frequency, and a third frequency into and/or to a blood sample within the microchannel, the first frequency configured to begin separation of red blood cells and plasma in the blood sample, the second frequency configured to complete separation of the red blood cells and plasma, and the third frequency configured to rupture cell walls of the blood cells producing a lysed blood sample.

  • Publication number: 20250205705
    Abstract: An acoustophoresis device having a sample vessel and a piezo transducer is described. The sample vessel has an outer surface, a microchannel within confines of the outer surface, a first port extending through the outer surface to the microchannel, and a second port extending through the outer surface to the microchannel, such that a blood sample is insertable through the first port into the microchannel. The sample vessel has conductive traces on the outer surface. The piezo transducer is bonded to the outer surface of the sample vessel to form a monolithic structure. The piezo transducer contacts at least one of the conductive traces, the piezo transducer is configured to generate ultrasonic waves inside a sample in the microchannel. The piezo transducer has an excitation signal input and response signal output electrically connected to the at least one of the conductive traces.

  • Publication number: 20080092433
    Abstract: A flying insect trapping device configured to be used with a fuel supply containing a combustible fuel is disclosed. The trapping device includes a combustion device that includes an inlet port for receiving the combustible fuel, a turbulence reducing structure for substantially laminating flow of a mixture of the combustible fuel and air, a catalyst element disposed downstream of the turbulence reducing structure, a heat zone having a hollow interior space in between the turbulence reducing structure and the catalyst element to enable the combustible fuel to flow into the heat zone for continuous combustion therein to create an exhaust gas comprising carbon dioxide, and a plurality of heat exchanger fins extending inwardly into the hollow interior space of the heat zone for conducting heat generated by the continuous combustion.
